Comments from last newsletter - You Choose Your Own Weather

"Thank you Lesley, I haven't been the weatherperson to myself for quite some time and I'm happy to hear those words from a friend. My last few years have been a centered and misplaced 'woe is me'. But things are gradually and very strongly changing and I'm enjoying the feelings and activities I am choosing to place into my life.
With your small 5-step activity, I'll be able to exercise my 'good feelings' quicker and it will be less likely that I'll slip back into feeling sad."

"You always have something in your zine that is happifying! "

Please remember that I love hearing from you. Email me and tell me what you're particular area of growth this year will be!

Feature Article: What do you mean “Get Better At Living”?

People generally believe that if they were luckier, won a million dollars, stumbled into the person of their dreams and woke up one morning stunningly beautiful and talented to boot, their life would be better. In other words they would have the ‘life of their dreams’ and like all good fairy tales, they would live happily ever after. NOT!

All you have to do is read newspapers, magazines or watch television to see the fallacy of this belief in action. How many celebrities get their shot at the brass ring and sabotage their career, relationships and often their very lives?

If you don’t know how to live your life particularly well now, why would you suddenly know how when circumstances outside of you change?

What would it look like if you were 'Better At Living? If you were 'Better At Living' you would:

  1. Accept responsibility for the way your life is now and for what happens to you
  2. Focus clearly on what you want from your life, and take the time to determine the intention or purpose is behind everything you do, think and say
  3. Look at the results that you are currently getting and isolate those behaviours that are getting in your way
  4. Realize that you have a positive intention for yourself in everything that you do, figure out what that is for those problem behaviours, and meet that positive intention in a more empowering way
  5. Know that the person who has the most choices in every situation, wins. Stand back, calm down, determine what you want, and carefully choose your best choice.
  6. Accept that you can only create lasting change by choosing to see your world differently, and using different filters to interpret it
  7. Learn to change limiting beliefs that are at the root of those problem behaviours
  8. Look for the gifts in what you may perceive as life's failures, search for the lessons and learn from them
  9. Program into your mind the results that you want in life and think the thoughts that will create it for you
  10. Choose what and how you communicate to yourself and others, based on the results that you want
  11. Choose the state of mind that will offer you the best resources available, in every situation
  12. Support your personal change through self management. Realize that your mind and body are all part of the same system. Flush the toxins out of every aspect of your life - substances, relationships, emotions, or activities in order to have the necessary resources to maintain your new life

If you were ‘Better At Living’, you would focus on making changes on the inside so regardless of outside events, other people's behaviours or circumstances, you would not be affected and would still be living your best life. Stuff happens to everyone, it is what you do with it that counts. That is when you live your best life.

One more way that you can get a better life by getting 'Better At Living' the one that you've got!

You can change your life
You can make it better
You just have to get 'Better At Living' it!
